            Sometimes, Red wondered if he had ever liked Yellow at all, or if he had only been interested in her power, Viridian’s Power. Pika had liked her too, and that had been a point in her favor, but even though she was that little girl he had rescued in the Viridian Forest he found it hard to make a connection to her. It was almost as though what he was really seeing was someone else.

            When he met Lance, he realized what the difference was. Lance had Viridian’s Power too, but she didn’t emit danger like Giovanni did, strange as it was. She was warm and comforting and would take care of him, and though his Pokemon squeaked in warning, especially Pika, he found himself heading to her.

 

            The Dragon Master held out her arms, and she really was warm and nice, and Red didn’t want to leave. Then Lance kissed him, and that only cemented things. He was stuck, caught, and captured, but really, at this point he didn’t care. Not at all

            Lance was bright shadow with Mother’s lifeblood, and Red liked her. She liked Red too, all cuddly squirm in her arms wrapped around a bright spark of power, and she ignored the dirty glares even as she kissed the boy again. It was all right. They would find a way to make this work, because something this right could not be wrong.

            She would never hurt Red again, and she could protect the Pokemon Champion much better than anyone else could. After all, Lance was Elite.

            In the end, nothing mattered, Red decided, because he had found the Power he wanted, and now, he was safe.

            Safe…

            Red liked safe, and so did Lance, so it worked out well.
